Summary
Completed in 1953, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and spans a length of 1390 feet. It has a normal storage capacity of 244 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 770 acre-feet, serving as a crucial infrastructure for managing the water resources in the area.
With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-025 is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and has a very high risk assessment rating. Despite not being currently rated for its condition, this dam plays a key role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water security for the surrounding community. As an integral part of the flood control system in the region, this dam stands as a testament to the efforts towards sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in Oklahoma.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-025 serves as a vital structure in the Fort Worth District, contributing to the overall water infrastructure of the area. With its strategic location and design, this dam showcases the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding against potential flooding events and underscores the significance of collaboration between state agencies and federal entities in ensuring the safety and well-being of the community in the face of changing climatic conditions.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
